  Any thoughts on which is better

  For the FP300 apparently the features of ZIgbee2MQQT are far greater than the standard ZHA install. May as well get over the hump first off rather than have to go back to it.

  if you connect to HAOS VM, there's no need to install Zigbee2MQTT.

  

  This should be recognized by HAOS as well. Otherwise, map the USB to your Zigbee2MQTT VM/Docker image and you're good to go. Remember to get an USB cable, so the radio is not near the internal USB port - that's better in terms of radio.

  All makes sense. The Sonoff is even cheaper ATM
  

  SONOFF Universal Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus ZBDongle E Gateway with Antenna for Home Assistant, Open HAB etc, Support Data Flow Control : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

  Just to make sure I'm straight.
  Install Zigbee2MQQT on my Debian VM with my MQQT server
  Connect the dongle to the HAOS VM
  Configure
  Play?

  @CatmanV2 yes. you could use it directly or via Zigbee2MQTT, as I did (because I wanted to fiddle around).

  Home Assistant

  Home Assistant Connect ZBT-2

  

  The easiest way to start with Zigbee or Thread is now even better.

  Thanks. I read that but didn't twig.

  Is it connected to an HA host or something else?

  I have this Home Assistant ZBT-2 in one house, and SONOFF ZBDongle-E in another and both are working OK with Zigbee2MQTT. Mostly plug&play (just the setup is not very straightforward - but manageable), definitely good after setup.

  OK. First suggestion here, go to the Tools tab, and in very small print in the footer of the page area, you will see a link that says Clear Local Storage. Hit that link, answer the confirmation question, and then hard-refresh the browser.
